Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stroke is one of the leading causes of human disability, and despite the advances in reperfusion technologies, there is an increased number of stroke patients who survive with impaired functional outcomes. Development of treatment strategies that promote recovery to minimize poststroke disabilities is needed. Moreover, the introduction of algorithms that can help in the early identification of those who may be at increased risk of poor outcomes is also necessary.
For this Special Issue titled “Treatment and Outcomes of Acute Ischemic Stroke”, we would like to invite authors across various clinical specialties to submit their original papers or review articles on specific and novel approaches in ischemic stroke.
This issue will focus on the advances and innovations in restorative therapies that enhance the patient’s poststroke outcome, highlighting novel systems or devices and outcomes of clinical management protocols.
Articles on innovative interventions using brain stimulation, neurostimulation or new pharmacological therapies, or physical activities that promote recovery and neuroplasticity would be welcome for submission.
This issue will also be open to articles focusing on neuroimaging, neurophysiological methods (e.g., EEG and related techniques), or studies on predictive algorithms that can forecast poststroke outcomes using sophisticated machine learning techniques.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Medicina is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
